Brenda's Wedding Blog is moving . . .

After much careful thinking and chatting with other industry peeps - I have decided it's time to move my blog back to Best Wedding Sites where I am now blogging daily as well. Maintaining both sites is becoming a challenge - not the blogging part as I am never short of inspiration - but posting on 2 sites and sharing both posts across the social media platforms was proving to be a bit of a competition amongst itself. I have been feeling like I was competing with myself - which is never ever a good thing and it's definitely not good for my wedding vendors and brides. So starting this week, you will find all the new posts at BestWeddingSites.com. I am so excited for this move as not only does it mean the continuation of daily inspiration - but now you will have access to the weekly giveaways and wedding inspiration - as well as the vendor guide, the wedding galleries, the latest bridal shows and so much more all in one place . . . which is always the best way. Later this week, you will see this blog re-direct to Best Wedding Sites - so the only thing you will need to do is update your RSS feed so you stay up to date with Best Wedding Sites each and every day. And, don't forget - each Tuesday a new giveaway will continue to launch. You can of course, still find the current giveaway for fresh florals from 1-800-Flowers here. I am very excited about this move and for all that 2012 will bring. So, come along and join me starting Monday on Best Wedding Sites.

Don't forget to enter the current giveaway . . . + a few surprises

Don't forget to enter and win in this week's giveaway. Enter to win fresh florals from 1-800-Flowers {there will be 2 winners}. Contest ends on Monday December 19th, 2011 at 11:59pm EST.

In case you missed any posts this week, here's a run-down of them
{in order of appearance}

- Wednesday Wedding Accessory : Unity Sand Photo Frame
- An engagement session held at the Design Within Reach store in Scottsdale, AZ
- A pink and grey wedding with a Vietnamese ceremony in Buffalo, NY

Also today, I have to share with you a few things that I have had the priviledge of sampling recently. I have actually been surprised and so happy I was given the opportunity to try them out as sometimes trying new things is actually a VERY good thing :) I have something bubbly and something for staying beautiful + healthy.

First up, the bubbly - Exclusiv Vodka's Rose Moscato Wine
Now, I have never been much of a fan of bubbly drinks - hence why I never drink soda - except for the occasional gingerale when my tummy hurts. But, I will admit, this sparkling rose wine completely grew on me. I definitely prefer it not chilled, but this is tasty and would be a great offering for your next event. And it only costs $9.99 a bottle {available in New York, Connecticut, New Jersy and Florida}. As, Exclusiv Vodka says . . . "will dazzle everyone's tastebuds and is perfect for any occasion!"

Up Next, the item for beauty + health - Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal Fragrance Free Roll-On
I will admit - I was super skeptical of even trying this one - mainly because I had tried another all natural deodorant before and it did not work. But, I have been using the Naturally Fresh deodorant each day since I received it and I am in total shock - it works . . . it totally works. Now, of course it's not summer here anymore so that will definitely be the true test - but you have no idea how happy I am to know that it's a 100% natural deodorant that provides 24-hours of body odor protection. All of the Naturally Fresh products are free of harmful aluminum, parabens (chemicals used as preservatives in cosmetics products) and Propylene Glycol. And, one of the best parts is that since the Roll-On is not an antiperspirant, it will not stain your wedding dress or your bridesmaids dresses. You can find this product at all Walmart stores across the country.

And, lastly, here's a couple offers you might like to take advantage of . . .
You can receive Free Shipping on Any Order Over $59 at Beau-coup.com with code:FREESHIP

At e.l.f. you can receive a FREE 100 Piece Eyeshadow Palette when you spend $25 or more. Valid thru 12/19 with coupod code 100FREE
